This one would work in my opinion. Personally, I don't really consider the San Vicente as "on the trail" but if you did then, sure, The Factor's win was a top effort.

I didn't care for the Florida Derby at all but I'd give Shackleford the nod for having run the better race. Dialed In running down the leaders in the Holy Bull was a good race for it being his 2nd start but I wouldn't refer to it as a "top" effort.

Basically, in my opinion, Dance City ran a VERY good race yesterday and has the potential to be a nice 2nd half 3YO.

Correct, which is why I didn't agree with your initial list. It paints an incorrect picture- one with a roughly 40-50% takeout. The Betfair #'s can be VERY helpful though and definitely worth looking at.

It wasn't my initial list, and there was nothing to agree/disagree with. Those were the odds being offered at that moment. That is a fact.

So you weren't the original poster on this thread?

Let's put it this another way...
if you went to your broker in the middle of the night and asked him for a quote on a stock that doesn't trade frequently anyways, and he said $1 bid/$40 offer, what is the current price of the stock?

$40?

I would have said $20

I was going to say that based on his answer earlier but I just wanted an answer quick becaues I do watch Betfair while I'm playing sometimes, and I want to know if what I have been watching / processing has been for not.

The answer is you don't know. Somewhere between $1 and $40. In the case of thin markets, you can make educated guesses based on the weights of money on each side if you have "outside" prices (which are available on Betfair.)
